The absorption of play may be biological
Interesting how the gambler will loose himself in the passion of the game, football fans become frenzied
Play is not an abstraction - it cannot be denied - unlike justice, truth, goodness, mind and God
Play is freedom
Play is not ordinary or real life
Play is a necessity
Play is highly organized - in designated areas, special rules, rituals...like church
the spoil-sports ruins the illusion of the game. The cheat is not as bad - as he is still in "play"
Lots of similarities between play "space" an ritual "space"
